NYC street sweepers should have alternate-side ticket cameras, sanitation commissioner says
New York’s street sweepers should have cameras to ticket car owners who flout the city’s alternate-side parking rules, Sanitation Commissioner Jessica Tisch said this week.
“This year, I want Albany to pass legislation that will give the Department of Sanitation the authority to put automatic ticketing systems on our street sweepers and do exactly what the MTA has done,” Tisch said. “We really need these cars to move for alternate-side parking." “I just hope if … somebody's waiting in their car, I hope they give them the opportunity to move out of the way,” Walker said of the cameras. But he also thought automated ticketing would help motivate more drivers to heed the rules.
“Maybe they need to get another way to clean the street besides using a big a-- truck,” said James Pettigrew, who has to move his car four times a week in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. Councilmember Robert Holden sponsored a bill last year to set up the camera program, which will include review of all photographic footage by sanitation staff, once the state grants approval.
